Its also not true (if I understand correctly). Rewire only allows linking of
dynamic objects, whereas jack can also link whole processes. ReWire
appears to work with a host/client architecture, whereas a JACK graph is
made up of peers.
This combionation makes JACK a) more flexible, b) more robust. At least
in theory ;)
PS ReWire was created by Propellerhead, not Steinberg.

That's it.
BTW it should be noted that JACK is more or less a clone of
Rewire that exists for years under Windoz, another Steinberg innovation
although Rewire work only for the apps that comply to the (not-open ?)
standard. (i guess).
Just because they got there first does not mean they originated the
concept. JACK is simply a way a sharing data between applications in
realtime at low latency. That should be a prerequisite for any serious
digital musician.
Saying JACK is a clone of Rewire is like saying desktop Linux is a clone
of windohs or mac.
